The last month of the spring, May, is also a moderately hot month in Little River, Alabama, with an average temperature fluctuating between 63°F (17.2°C) and 85.6°F (29.8°C).

Temperature

May's arrival signals a subtle increase in average high-temperatures, moving from April's warm 78.4°F (25.8°C) to a still moderately hot 85.6°F (29.8°C). Little River notes a substantial temperature decline from the daytime peaks throughout May, with an average nighttime temperature of 63°F (17.2°C).

Heat index

In May, the heat index is evaluated at a torrid 95°F (35°C). Heightened precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.
Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. With exposure to direct sunlight, the heat index may be increased by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', melds the effects of warmth and moisture to generate a feeling of heat. A person's impression of weather can be affected by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Kids often lack the knowledge about the necessity to take breaks and consume liquids. Thirst, as a late symptom of dehydration, necessitates the maintenance of hydration, particularly during enduring physical activities.
Evaporating sweat, thanks to perspiration, acts as a natural air conditioner for the human body. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.
